Quick ship, easy install, just like the original
(5 out of 5) by Robear on Jul 16, 2008 (Bay Area)Print quality is consistent. I'll check back if I get anywhere near the 2500 page yield. Much cheaper than name brand, for similar quality.

It Works
(3 out of 5) by Y. LEE on Feb 11, 2009This is a toner FOR HP, not BY HP.
It fades the entire paper as it prints, but since this is my first time using non-HP cartridge on my HP Printer, it would be too quick to assume all the toners from this company will do the same.
Fading is not really noticeable, and it will not be a problem unless you need to have the pure white background (or you want the pure white background) when you print.
It was a lot cheaper than OEM HP toner, and for printing out simple texts and forms, I wouldn't pay more to get a little brighter background.

worked as advertised and great service
(5 out of 5) by Jan Ozer on Jan 11, 2009 (Galax, VA USA)You have to pay attention when installing this product; there's a sleeve of paper not involved in a typical cartridge installation. The documentation is there, but I missed it and hosed the installation. I got a service person on the phone in under 3 minutes and got a replacement cartridge in 2 days.
Once up and running, I found print quality identical to HP cartridges costing 3 times as much, and it seems to print about the same number of pages. HP is a great company who makes great gear, but I'll never buy a HP cartridge again, at least for this laser printer.

Just a little too little
(4 out of 5) by Hugh Nations on Nov 16, 2008 (Austin, TX)No problems at all with performance. They do seem to empty a bit quickly, though.

Extremely Disappointed
(1 out of 5) by L. Walter on Dec 8, 2008 (NYC)The cartridge has almost no ink - only the right half of the page will print! I am exteremely disappointed and will never purchase this cartridge again.
